JustSewSimple Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'll play. I will post my fabrics after I shop. The "same color fabric" should be two different fabrics with the same color, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSkies Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I am thinking about it. Shannon, everyone needs to make sure that they have the stars turning in the same direction. I did a swap once and they had the stars going in different directions. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 hi shannon - batiks or quality quilters cotton? what's the finished size? also, i'm guessing you want them to be brights? i'm so nosy...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 quality cottons....blocks are 9 inches finished...brighter would look better, but whatever floats your root beer..... not nosy at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 ok - so if i send 2 sets, i get back twice as many blocks~ that will surely be enuf for a queen sized quilt??? how will these fabrics work? its a stash buster for me so i can change it if you need me to. just let me know. thanks for organizing! sidenote - i am so behind on my Christmas chores & what am i doing instead??? :P:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 meg- looks good...if you do two sets you'll get 60 blocks back...at 9" that would be a 6 x 10 layout, so 54"x 90" with out borders...so a small queen....but a nice pieced piano key border in there at 6" wide would give you a nice queen size...

witha'K'quilting Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Dory does have a point. If we just give each other fabric...then that constitutes as a swap...and it leaves my stash and adds to yous! Awesome idea doryfish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
